Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Key: D#mD#m

Intro:
D#mD#m  C#C# F#F#
F#   BB
D#mD#m  C#C# F#F#
F#   BB

Verse 1:
D#mD#m              C#C#             F#F#
Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won
              BB
Worry and wake the ones you love
D#mD#m             C#C#
A augmentedA phone call I'd rather not receive
               F#F#
Please use my body while I sleep
                  BB
My lungs are fresh and yours to keep
                 D#mD#m
Kept clean and they will let you breathe

Pre-Chorus 1:
A#mA#m        C#C#           D#mD#m     A#mA#m
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
 F#F#        C#C#       D#mD#m
I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind

Chorus:
A#mA#m         C#C#      F#F#
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
   C#C#         G#G#    F#F#
So I sat alone and waited out the night
     A#mA#m         C#C#       F#F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
     C#C#              D#mD#m
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
     G#G#
I'm not writing my goodbyes

Verse 2:
D#mD#m
I submit no excuse
 C#C#            F#F#
If this is what I have to do
            BB
I owe you every day I wake
D#mD#m             C#C#
If I could I would shrink myself
                   F#F#
And sink through your skin to your blood cells
                BB
And remove whatever makes you hurt but
             D#mD#m
I am too weak to be your cure

Pre-Chorus 1:
A#mA#m        C#C#           D#mD#m     A#mA#m
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry?
 F#F#        C#C#       D#mD#m
I am the watch you always wear, but you forget to wind

Chorus:
A#mA#m         C#C#      F#F#
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
   C#C#         G#G#    F#F#
So I sat alone and waited out the night
     A#mA#m         C#C#       F#F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
     C#C#              D#mD#m
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
     G#G#
I'm not writing my goodbyes

Bridge:
    C#C#    A#mA#m   BB
I'm not letting you check out
     D#D#         C#C#
You will beat this, starting now
        G#G#      BB
And you will always be around
D#mD#m  C#C#   A#mA#m     BB
I'm there to monitor your breathing
    D#mD#m          C#C#
I will watch you while you're sleeping
    G#G#        D#mD#m
I will keep you safe and sound

Pre-Chorus 2:
A#mA#m      C#C#        F#F#
Does anybody remember back when you were very young?
     A#mA#m      G#G#         D#mD#m
Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

Chorus:
A#mA#m         C#C#      F#F#
Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these
   C#C#         G#G#    F#F#
So I sat alone and waited out the night
     A#mA#m         C#C#       F#F#
The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed
     C#C#              D#mD#m
So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around
     G#G#      A#mA#m
I'm not writing my goodbyes
